The passage discusses the centre of gravity and factors that affect the stability and control of aircraft in flight. It also covers requirements for filing and amending flight plans.

The centre of gravity is the point where the entire weight of the aircraft is considered to act. It is important because its position relative to other points like the neutral point determines the aircraft's longitudinal stability and control characteristics.

The location of the centre of gravity relative to the neutral point is a key factor. Other factors mentioned are the effectiveness of the horizontal stabilizer, rudder and rudder trim tab.
